I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything. When are you graduating? Also, let you school counselor know you are looking for scholarships - that's how I got one of mine many years ago - I was an aide for the counselor's office and told all of them that I was looking for scholarships. One day an application came through in which the counselor had to recommend one student from the high school to apply, and he asked if I was interested. It turned out to be $1,000/year for up to 5 years provided I kept my grades up and met with the committee at the end of each year. Good luck - there are tons of scholarships out there, it's just a matter of finding them!

Edited to say I also found www.fastweb.com but you have to enter a lot of information before they give you info about scholarships. I don't know if it's legit or not, but might be worth checking out.

Ashley, good for you!! It sounds like a perfect career for you, as you'll be able to relate to what they are going through so well. One of the most helpful people I met since I was diagnosed was a social worker who has lupus. She totally understands and I appreciated talking with her so much - that really makes a difference.

And thanks, Jeannette!

Love...faith...joy...hope...strength...Lupus, you have no chance!

Love and hugs,
